Multi-line Comment

[Craig Lindley]

Does pForth have a way of handling multi-line comments beside commenting out each line?

I could add this. Is there a standard Forth way of doing this?

How about this?

This is a

multi

line comment in pForth!

I think the standard way is a single paren, at least for Forths that
support the file word set. See
https://forth-standard.org/standard/file/p.

Sounds great. I tried "(" across multiple lines in pForth and it failed.
I will just extend the definition of "(" to support multiple lines.
